Mirakuru Romansu

Book 1, Part 1, Chapter 1: Bishies and rampaging youmas

By Lady Firefly

*~*~*~*

"Oh my gosh, look at this!" Minako exclaimed as she snagged a forest green halter top from the rack, her blue eyes shining from the thought of shopping for clothing. "This would look so good on you, Mako-chan!" She thrust the top into Makato's open arms.

Makato studied the top, her auburn hair swinging behind her. She held it up and looked in the mirror. "I guess it would look pretty cute." She checked the tag. "But it's not my size."

"Then here!" Minako grabbed the top from the taller girl and handed her another one. "Go, go, go, try it on!"

Makato laughed. Minako was so into shopping, she thought to herself as she neared the dressing room, the top in hand. Eyeing the mirror closely, she took off her black T-shirt and tried on the halter top. It was a perfect fit, and as she posed a bit in front of the mirror, she noticed that it was almost an exact match to the shade of her eyes.

She checked the tag again. "Half price," she, mused aloud. "Excellent. Minako sure knows how to pick 'em."

When she came back, however, Minako was nowhere to be found.

"Minako-chan?" Makato called, peering around the store.

Suddenly someone grabbed her and pulled her behind a rack full of shoes.

"Minako! What are you doing?" Makato asked in a rather loud voice.

"Shhhhhh!" Minako put a finger to her mouth, then pointed over the rack at a boy, about their age with light blonde hair and green eyes looking at another rack of CDs. "Bishounen, 12 o' clock!"

Makato peered over the rack, which wasn't very hard to do, since she was already at least half an inch taller than the rack. "Oh my gosh, he IS cute!"

Minako stood on her toes and giggled with excitement. Her face soon fell, however, when a girl with bright red hair and violet eyes come over to him and talked to him in what looked like a flirtatious manner.

Makato smiled. "I guess you're going to have to keep looking, Minako-chan."

Minako sighed. "I know." She stood regularly, and turned to face Makato. "But I really want a boyfriend!"

Makato turned to look at the boy again, who was now walking farther into the large store with the girl. "You know, he looks kinda like my old boyfriend…."

Minako sweat dropped. "Makato, I swear, your boyfriend must have been half chameleon. You say that about every boy we meet!"

"I know," Makato smiled. "Let's continue shopping, okay?"

And so they did, Minako on the alert for any more bishounen that looked single. They exchanged opinions on clothing for their friends, themselves, even people walking by. For about an hour, everything was peaceful. But of course, all peaceful times must end at some point.

"Kyaaaaa!" Makato's ears seemed to prick up in alarm as she heard a scream from across the store.

She tugged on Minako's sleeve to get her attention. "Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Minako looked up from the yellow skirt she was currently holding in her hands.

"Kyaaaaa!" The girl from before rushed out from one of the racks, followed by her boyfriend. Almost running into Minako and Makato, she screamed "Help! A monster!" Her boyfriend, however, seemed at a total loss for words.

Minako and Makato looked at each other, the same thought running through their heads. Any normal girl would probably call for help as well by now.

Minako and Makato didn't.

They were the help.

"Call the others?" Minako asked.

"Nah. That will take too much time." Makato replied, her emerald and gold colored henshin wand appearing before her. "Usagi told me she was going to be somewhere in the mall, and even as ditzy as she is, she's bound to notice panicked people running screaming from a store."

Minako's own wand appeared, and she fingered it gently, her fingernails glowing a bright shade of orange. "I guess you're right." Thrusting the wand up in front of her, she chanted. "Venus Crystal Power!"

"Jupiter Crystal Power!" Makato's own fingernails fading from it's usual skin color into green, she held hers up in the air.

"Make-up!" They both cried in unison.

Jagged streaks of lightning clouded Makato's vision and rubbed against her body, fading her regular clothing into her familiar emerald green and sugar pink senshi fuku. She could feel the cold metal of her tiara make it's way across her forehead, felt the fabric of her gloves weave itself up her fingers, down her wrists and resting on her elbows, ending in green bands. Her laced up boots materialized inch by leather inch, ending a little past her ankles.

Finally the lightning faded. She could see Minako next to her, transformed in the same way, wearing an orange and yellow fuku with a hint of blue. She nodded to Makato, her bright crimson bow bobbing behind her. "Ready?"

She smiled. It was more of a smirk, a sign of confidence. "Oh yeah. I'm ready."

For she was no longer Kino Makato.

She was Sailor Jupiter, the warrior of thunder.

And she was going to kick some ass.

*~*~*~*

Minako never liked fighting as much as Makato did. She was a good leader, but not the best fighter in the world. Her talents were focused more on shopping and spotting bishounen.

But as she transformed, the bright orange energy, twinkling like stars, and wrapping itself around her almost made her feel excited to fight. Sure, she liked peace as much as the next person, but sometimes she just needed to let loose her peaceful self and hit some unsuspecting youma in the eye with a Crescent Beam.

She soon finished, and looked down to admire herself. Her senshi fuku certainly was stylish in a school uniform-ish sort of way. She flicked a strand of blonde hair out of the way as she watched Makato finish her transformation, her auburn ponytail swinging this way and that.

She nodded to her emerald green comrade, "Ready?"

Sailor Jupiter smirked. "Oh yeah. I'm ready."

They raced farther into the store together, attracting much attention, but not as much as the screaming people racing in the opposite direction.

"Where do you think it is?" Sailor Jupiter asked aloud, running slightly faster than Sailor Venus. She obviously really wanted to get to this fight.

"Well," Sailor Venus replied with a sly grin. "We could always ask someone." She pulled over a rather attractive looking guy and asked him. "Okay, where's this monster thing hidin'?"

"Over there!" He stopped only for a second to point left, then raced off. *But*, Venus thought to herself, her heart beating slightly faster, *He looked back at us. That's gotta be some sort of sign.*

"Hello?" Jupiter waved a hand in front of Venus's face. "Chikyuu to Venus, come in Venus!"

"Huh?" The self appointed goddess of love and beauty looked up, her face puzzled.

"Venus, you can't gawk at every single bishounen we meet!" Jupiter exclaimed. "There's a youma on the loose, and all you can think about is getting a boyfriend!"

"Fine, fine." Muttered Venus as the two senshi raced in the direction the man pointed to.

The youma was certainly ugly enough, Venus mused as they spotted an almost humanoid creature, a sort of dull navy blue in color, with tentacles replacing the normal human arms. The tentacles were covered in small spikes. It lashed out a tentacle at lightning speed. It crashed into a mannequin, which crashed into another mannequin, which crashed into a rack of clothing, which collided with a wall.

Venus shuddered. "That's not good."

Jupiter stared at her. "Come on, we've fought worse."

"I know…but all that destroyed clothing…" The senshi of love cast a glance at the overturned rack now boring a hole through the wall.

Jupiter groaned. "Well since you're obviously not going to fight at all…" The golden lightning rod emerged from the gem on her tiara, and she curled up into a ball, then sprang out of her 'ball' position and flung a handful of lightning at the youma. "Supreme Thunder!"

It hit the youma full blast in the back. The monstrous creature screeched, and turned around to face Jupiter, and hurled a tentacle in the senshi of lightning's direction. She dodged it, and the tentacle wrapped itself around a another mannequin.

Venus sighed, and held her hand up in the air. A golden chain of hearts circled her, starting from her outstretched hand. She threw her hand back, and the chain followed, like a whip. "Lovely Chain!" She cried, sending the whip of hearts forward, wrapping it around the youma's other tentacle. She tied the end of the chain around a pillar.

The youma continued to screech, and struggled to free it's tentacle from the chain. It lashed at the pillar with it's other tentacle, hoping to knock it over. The pillar cracked under the weight.

Venus and Jupiter exchanged glances. "You know, I think we might need Sailor Moon for this," Venus said uneasily, wincing as the youma shrieked again.

As if on cue, Sailor Moon popped up in between Venus and Jupiter, her odangoes flapping. "You called?"

Jupiter laughed and sweat dropped. "You were waiting for us to say that, weren't you?"

Venus looked back at the monster. It was still struggling, and had almost pulled itself free. It lashed it's free tentacle at the pillar again, it's back turned for a second. There was some sort of marking on it's left shoulder blade. Some sort of star, Venus realized, squinting hard.

A black star.

Venus blinked a couple of times. She couldn't see it that well, but she was sure it was a black, and it was a star.

Could it be the deathbusters again?

"Chikyuu to Venus, hellooo?" Sailor Moon tilted her head in an innocent manner. "Get out of the way, I'm gonna kill it now and stuff!"

Venus looked up, nodded, and backed up out of the way.

The odangoed senshi held out her hand and concentrated hard, her eyes looking directly in front of her. A bright sugary pink mist appeared several inches in front of her outstretched arm. The mist grew brighter and brighter and began to appear more solid, until a small red and white tier materialized. A small beam of multicolored light flew from the tier, and it slowly flew towards her fingers. She grabbed it from midair.

"Starlight…"

The blonde princess of the moon began to twirl the tier about, using only the tips of her fingers. A few milk white feathers fluttered around her.

"Honeymoon…"

Her odangoes flapped against her decoration wings as she began to twirl herself, faster and faster, then stopped, facing the youma with a serious expression. The youma had stopped as well; It began to forget that it was chained to a pillar, watching the senshi with a confused look on it's face, making it look even more ugly then it already was.

"Therapy…"

Sailor Moon then lifted the tier above her head with both hands. "Kiss!"

The youma screeched one last time. A bright white light engulfed the creature, and In a matter of seconds it had disappeared, gone back to the hell which it was created from.

There was a moment's silence. Then Sailor Moon sighed. It was a very loud sigh. "Great, just when things were getting back to normal…"

"We should call the other senshi and set up a senshi meeting," suggested Sailor Jupiter.

"Yeah, we need the others to know as soon as possible." Sailor Venus agreed, completely forgetting about the star. It was probably a figment of my imagination anyway… She thought to herself.

Sailor Moon nodded, then looked back over at the spot where the youma had stood a few seconds ago. She continued to stare at it until they left. But what she didn't see was a small cat twitching it's tail slowly, royal blue in color, it's violet eyes glimmering almost as brightly as the icy blue, almost white, six pointed star atop it's head…
